Christ Church Baptism Application

Christ Church Baptism Application

Holy Baptism is the initiation by water and the Holy Spirit into Christ’s Body, the Church. In the Episcopal Church, Baptism is the entry rite into the Christian life and is the only requirement for joining in the Holy Eucharist and all other ministries of the Church.

Available dates for baptism in 2025

The Episcopal Church believes that baptism is the sacrament that initiates new members into the universal church of Jesus Christ. Because of this, it is a sacrament that occurs publicly during the Sunday Eucharist or at the Saturday Easter Vigil.
Please select the date of the Sunday 10 am worship service that you would like to request for your child's baptism.

Godparents/Baptismal Sponsors

A godparent is a person who stands as a sponsor (with parents at a child's baptism) to the baptized, and who promises to support the baptized person through prayer, example and action during this new life in Christ. Godparents do not need to be members of Christ Church, or even the Episcopal Church. As long as they are willing to help the newly baptized grow as Christians in the knowledge and love of God, and to fulfill the baptismal vows, they are welcome to serve as godparents.
